The Sultan’s Suite, Çirağan Palace Kempinski, Istanbul


Sultan’s Suite

Originally designed of wood within the sixteenth century, and eventually the residence of the last Ottoman Sultans, this palace was remodeled in marble for grand Turk Abdülaziz in 1857.

Now a lavish five-star edifice with a guest list that has Charles, Liz Hurley, Uma Thurman and Giorgio Armani, it's all the trimmings: a stunning pool, boat and eggbeater service and an incredible breakfast buffet.
